Good morning. Here is an interesting one.
In October this year I received a Claim Form that was issued by BW Legal on behalf of NCP. This is dated 17th October 2018 for an alleged offence that occurred in April this year. This is the very first time I am aware of this. I have acknowledged this Claim on line to give me some time to prepare my defense. The Particulars of Claim state as written on the Claim Form state:
"The claimants claim is for the sum of £242.84 being monies due from the Defendant to the claimant in respect of a Parking Charge Notice (PCN) for a parking contravention which occurred on 04/04/2018 in the private car/land located at Crawley Boulevard East Crawley RH101XP in relation to a vehicle, xxxxx. registration mark xxxxx. The defendant was allowed 28 days from the PCN date to pay the PCN, but failed to do so. Despite demand having been made, the Defendant has failed to settle their outstanding liability. The claim also includes Statutory interest pursuant to section 69 of the county Courts Act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum (a daily rate of £0.04 from 04/04/2018 to 16/10/2018 being an amount of £7.84. The claimants claim includes £60.00 costs as set out in the Terms and Conditions"
The only letter that I have received is this claim Form. I never received any Notice to Keeper, absolutely nothing ! 7 months have passed. We NEVER parked. There was no available spaces but we did wait between 10 or 15 mins but no spaces became available. We drove out the other end as it is one way. It turned out that NCP who installed these ANPR cameras last year had never applied for planning permission. It also turned out a further 2 car parks that are in operation also did not have planning permission.We informed the local authority and NCP has applied for retrospective planning permission which as we know, they will get it. I feel we have been shafted big time. Can anyone help with putting my defense together. Thanks, Lonerider..
